The Department of Cognitive Science in the College of Arts & Sciences  
at Case Western Reserve University invites applications for one or  
more faculty positions in Cognitive Science, to begin July 2008.  
Further particulars are available at http://case.edu/artsci/cogs/.  
Rank is open and commensurate with qualifications. Field open. The  
department seeks to expand its program in cognitive  
neuroscience,                      focusing on higher-order human  
cognition. It otherwise seeks candidates who will help the department  
pursue its mission to create an integrated, transdisciplinary  
approach to the study of the human mind. Accordingly, we have  
interests in research projects that combine and advance various  
fields of study, such as the evolution and development of human  
beings, theoretical neuroscience, computation, engineering, design,  
politics, economics, law, art, religion, philosophy, the social  
sciences, and any aspect of human higher-order cognition. Applicants  
should demonstrate the potential for research, publication, and  
extramural funding. Teaching includes undergraduate and graduate  
courses and participation in the university's SAGES program.  
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent by date of appointment.

The application process will continue until the available positions  
are filled. Complete applications received by 1 November 2007 will  
receive full consideration. Applications should consist of a letter  
of application, a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests  
and plans, a statement of teaching experience, and the names,  
addresses, and email addresses of four referees to whom we may write.  
Please apply electronically if at all possible to cs- 
facultysearch at case.edu, with a copy to turner at case.edu. If electronic

has received an NSF ADVANCE grant to increase the participation of  
women in science and engineering.

Cognitive Science is a new department at Case, dedicated to  
organizing a cognitive science initiative with connections across the  
university. Its undergraduate programs are established. Graduate  
programs are in development. The department is designed to connect  
research and teaching activities across the College of Arts and  
Sciences, the other schools of the university (including Medicine,  
Engineering, Law, and Management), and the many cultural institutions  
adjacent to the university (including the Cleveland Museum of Art,  
the Cleveland Institute of Art, the Cleveland Institute of Music, the  
Cleveland Museum of Contemporary Art, the Cleveland Orchestra, the  
Cleveland Clinic, the University Hospitals, and the Cleveland  
Playhouse). There are rich possibilities for integration with new  
initiatives in media, technology, and networked arts and humanities.  
The                      programmatic and research agendas of these  
institutions are entering an era of unprecedented collaboration, and  
the Department of Cognitive Science is charged to serve as a  
principal designer and leader of these collaborations.
